Fortinet Stock Forecast
Fortinet stock price ended at $63.40 on Friday, after losing 0.98%.
(Updated on Apr 19, 2024)
The Fortinet stock price fell by -0.98% on the last day (Friday, 19th Apr 2024) from $64.03 to $63.40. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.37% from a day low at $62.92 to a day high of $64.41. The price has fallen in 8 of the last 10 days and is down by -10.59% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 2 million shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 5 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $305.16 million.
The stock is at the lower part of a wide and horizontal trend in the short term, and normally this may pose a good buying opportunity, though a breakdown through the bottom trend line at $63.07 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Fortinet stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $63.42 and $73.67 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

FTNT Signals & Forecast
There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Fortinet stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $65.14 and $68.41. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, March 07, 2024, and so far it has fallen -13.23%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely.
